This thesis deals with the design of agro-environmental schemes in a particular area. The theoretical part of this work deals with biodiversity and agri-environmental programs. This section also contains a brief characterization of GAEC and SMR. The next part contains the characteristics of the natural conditions in the area of interest, a brief description of the estates concerned, an analysis of the historical development of land use and the calculation of the coefficients of ecological stability. In the area of interest there was conducted a fytocenological survey and compiled an inventory of species occurring at the site. According to the findings, specific local environmental schemes are proposed. Three bio-belts, grassing-over of two lands and agri-environmental restrictions supporting the presence of birds and mammals are suggested.

The main topic of the dissertation thesis is the evaluation of the influence of socio- geographical exposure and other factors (natural: altitude, inclination of slopes, productivity of land) on the extensification processes of the land use in Czechia in the period of more than 160 years, 1845-2010. Emphasis is also placed on the associated losses of agricultural and arable land, given that afforestation and increase of grassland took place essentially at the expense of that land. The main data source is the "Database of long-term land use changes in Czechia (1845-2010)", LUCC Czechia, based on cadastral records. It is a detailed monitoring which covers almost 9,000 so-called stable territorial units. Both the extensification processes and the overall intensity of land use (using the coefficient of ecological importance) are evaluated. Given that most of the Czechia's territory is still used as agricultural land, the thesis also includes an overview of the evolution of the selected agricultural intensity indicators. Attention is likewise paid to the wider context of land use changes at the European level. The essential part of the thesis is to build models of socio-geographical exposure of Czechia, which are comparable with the data on land use in the time horizons of 1845, 1896, 1948, 1990 and...
